Day 5 St Lucia to Thunderbolt
Noon Position 29deg 25N 78deg 23W
Course – 275 Degrees Speed – 9.7 Knots Day’s Run – 255 Miles
Weather – Overcast with confused seas of 6 feet (2m)
Wind – 18 knots from 133 degrees
We ran out of wind just after sunset when it turned behind us and died in strength. We put the main and genoa away and have been rolling ever since. To make matters worse we have also had 1-2 knots of current against us most of today. Soon we will be reaching the Gulf Stream which is flowing North at 2 knots where we will be crossing it. No luck with the fishing this morning.
Still on schedule for a 6pm arrival at TMI tomorrow.
